Like it or not, taking selfies is a trend that’s not going to stop soon. Top fashion photographer Nigel Barker spoke to Nightline and offered a few tips to take amazing self portraits on your smartphone: Posing is bad; confidence and being comfortable is good. Get great angles and don’t hold the camera over your head. To get rid of the dreaded double chin, stretch your neck out for a few moments by looking at the ceiling, then bring your head down over your shoulder and look at the camera. Women shouldn’t cross their arms if they want them to appear slender. And, please don’t purse your lips and make “duck face.”

Our support system

We really do care about and need each other. According to a new report released from Generations United and the Alliance for Children and Families, four in 10 family members rely on each other for child care or caregiving. Sixty percent of us spend time doing chores or home maintenance for relatives. Half of the respondents said they help out with transportation, and three out of four said they support their families socially and emotionally.

Who’s the breadwinner? Who cares?

There’s been a generational shift in family attitude. A recent survey from the Mayflower moving company found that a whopping 72 percent of millennials would support moving if a female spouse got a new job. Compare that to only 59 percent of the baby boomer generation. “As women continue to rise in the workforce, there appears to be a corresponding impact on family dynamics. Millennials tend to have fewer preconceived notions about the breadwinning role and are more comfortable sharing the career spotlight,” Fred Medway, a professor of psychology at the University of South Carolina, told Business Insider.

The modern family

You don’t have to look at the TV to see that America’s changed. “Leave it to Beaver” has been replaced by “Modern Family,” and the Pew Research Center recently released a report about the modern family. In 1960, 37 percent of households included a married couple raising their own children. Today, just 16 percent of households look like that. We’re putting off big milestones. Today, the median age at first marriage is 29 for men and 27 for women — the highest in modern history. In 1960, the birth rate was 3.7 for the American woman. Today, it’s just 1.9. And, families are more blended and differently constructed with stepsiblings, more unmarried mothers and increasingly common intermarriage between races.
